Ice cream review: Coldstone's Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream

Thanksgiving may have come and gone, and peppermint flavored things might be the popular flavor item on most menus, but don't dismiss pumpkin flavors just yet.

A few days ago a friend of mine posted on Facebook about Coldstone Creamery's Pumpkin Cheesecake ice cream. My heart skipped a beat. In 2015 I reviewed Coldstone's Pumpkin Pie in the Sky sundae which featured a pumpkin ice cream base, and it was one of my favorite flavors from the company.

I opted to try the signature sundae which consists of pumpkin cheesecake ice cream mixed with caramel, crushed Heath bars and whipped cream.

Let's start with the ice cream. I really wanted to love this flavor, but I just didn't. The texture is Coldstone's classic silky, creamy dream, but the flavor was just not for me.

As much as I love cheesecake I have never liked cheesecake flavored ice cream and this ice cream has a very strong cheesecake flavor. To me the pumpkin flavor tasted a bit artificial and was too mild.

The toppings were excellent as usual. The Heath bars added a nice texture and the caramel and whipped cream complimented the treat, but I am going to have to pass on this one.

I give it two scoops because the quality of the ice cream was great, but the cheesecake flavor was just too overpowering.
